Pet Sitting in Newark

“Veronica is so wonderful. She took care of our two cats. I was so impressed by her attention to details. After each drop in, she gave detailed notes on what was done (changing water, refilling feeder, cleaning litter boxes, etc.) I was worry-free while away from my house. She very responsive on messages and very kind. Highly recommended.”

Dai S.

“Siqin is super sweet! She stopped by before the visit to meet my cats and get to know them a bit, which was really thoughtful. During the drop-in, she sent lots of pics and videos and made sure to play with them. They both seemed really happy and comfortable with her. Would definitely book again!”

Rui S.

“Su was wonderful! Responsive, prompt, treated my cat well, and provided detailed updates. Even moved my garbage cans up and my mail. Thank you so much, would definitely rebook her again!”

Katie W.

“Myat was very communicative, thorough, timely and flexible for all our scheduled drop-ins. I really appreciated her meet and greet visit, and the many photos and updates during drop ins. She cleaned the litter well, followed the feeding schedule, and made my three shy cats feel comfortable very quickly.”

Victoria J.

“Great communication between us and care towards the two for babies.”

David P.

“It’s never easy to leave my four legged children but sometimes I am unable to take them with me. I had to go out of town and was subjected to have someone else take care of them. I was directed to try someone in Rover. I found Jennifer B and thanks to her continued updates it gave me peace of mind. Thank you Jennifer and Rover for making it possible to of made the connection in a very much needed time. It’s an undervalued help and may many blessing come your way. If and when I am in need I will reach out again. Until next time a million thanks.”

About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages and temperaments, from playful puppies and curious kittens to calm senior pets, both as a loving pet parent and as a sitter for friends and family. Whether it’s going on long walks, giving belly rubs, or just keeping them company, I make sure every pet in my care feels safe, happy, and loved. I understand how important routines and affection are, and I’m happy to tailor care to their unique personality, energy level, and needs. Whether your dog needs an active walking partner or your cat just wants a cozy lap to curl up on, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby and share updates, pics, and stories while you're away! I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate my full attention to caring for your furry baby, this includes regular potty breaks, multiple walks per day, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s specific routine and needs. I don’t have any pets of my own and only care for one at a time, so your furry baby will have my full attention in a calm, quiet environment. I live in a pet-friendly house with a fully fenced backyard where your dog can safely play and explore. I always follow care instructions closely and take extra precautions during walks and potty breaks to keep your pet safe and comfortable.

About: *Accepting bookings for drop-ins and walks up to 10 miles from Newark. Save 25% with me by booking with me my first couple months on Rover (Aug, Sept, Nov)! Discount already applied to listed prices.* Hello! My name is Naomi - I’m an animal lover as well as a computer science graduate with a background in tech and music. I’ve had pets since I was about six - 2 dogs growing up (a lab and a lab mix), and more recently, I had a beautiful, loving pitbull-bulldog-lab mix who was a big part of my life until last year. He’s now with a sweet family on a large property where he has plenty of room to run and explore. In college, I had a cat who I initially found hanging out near my home without an owner, and he was super playful and intelligent. After showing him attention, he followed me home, and I ended up keeping him and naming him Genius. There were other cats in the area that’d hang out together, but he stood out from the rest and was a sweet, approachable lone ranger. In addition to having pets of my own, I’ve been trusted by family and family friends to watch over their pets (both cats and dogs). Animals have always been family to me, and being around them feels grounding and natural. I’m warm, playful, and detail-oriented. I also enjoy having a furry exercise/walking buddy. I’ll be sure to treat your pet with care, empathy, and attention. My schedule is flexible/open at the moment so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups. I have availability on weekdays and weekends. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I follow instructions carefully regarding feeding, exercise, and any special needs.

About: Care, concern, attentive to details. I will make sure your pet is happy and well taken care of while you are away. Your pet will not be bored waiting for you under my care. I currently work from home with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to fit in pet care throughout the day 🐾. Whether it's a morning walk, a midday cat check-in, or an evening drop-in, I can easily plan around your pet’s routine. I'm super organized and always make sure my calendar aligns with your pet’s needs - so you can count on me to show up on time and give your furry friend the care and attention they deserve! ⏰🐶🐱 When I care for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect and care I’d want for my own 🏡💛. I follow your instructions closely - feeding routines, hiding spots, meds, and more, so your pet stays comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. For shy cats, I move gently and give them space to feel secure at their own pace 🐱. For dog walks, I always double-check that harnesses are snug and safe, and I stay aware of our surroundings during every walk 🐕🚶‍♀️. I take home security seriously! Locking up properly after each visit, and if you'd like, I can send a photo of the locked door for extra peace of mind 🔐📸. I’m clean, responsible, and will always keep you updated with messages and cute pet pics so you never have to wonder how things are going 💬🐾.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for my coworkers and friends. My own puppy Chowchow is a 15 lbs Shih Tzu, who’s 6 years old. He’s getting along well with cats and dogs. We have a fenced yard with grass and mulch that your doggo can run! Our place is 5 mins walk away from our community park where I walk Chow Chow everyday. I have a fully remote job with a very flexible schedule. I usually walk my puppy twice a day but if your dog is more active and I can accommodate too. My little shihtzu Chow Chow is a very friendly furball and he doesn’t care about other fur friends😅so he gets along with everyone 😊 Welcome:)

“Ashley is very easy to work with and accommodated my schedule and needs with my kitty! She has a great attention to detail and sent plenty of pictures and a sweet note about what my kitty was up to and left me no room for concern! Will definitely be booking her again”

Saloni M.

“Our dog took to Paula immediately, she is very sweet and it’s clear she has a lot of experience with dogs. She was able to accommodate our last minute needs for drop in visits with our dog and has been a great communicator. She kept me in the loop with her visits and is just great with our pup! She even brought in packages that were delivered. Very professional and kind, I will definitely be working with Paula in the future!”

Rachel F.

“Melissa did a fantastic job taking care of my pets. She was very thorough and took care of all of their needs. I knew that my cats trusted her because they didn’t hide from her like they normally do when guests come to the house. She gave me daily updates and photos which helped ease my mind about how things were going at home. Hopefully Melissa is available the next time my family and I take a vacation because I would love to have her come back again.”

About: Dogs make my heart happy, and so do cats! :) I loved the times that I got to spend and care for my beloved Moki who went to heaven in Dec. 2023. I miss her every single day. I work as a substitute teacher and painting instructor, which provides me with a flexible schedule to pursue my hobbies and interests. One of my passions in life is dogs. I volunteer with Pets in Need by participating in their Doggy Day Out program. Back in high school, I was voted Most Dependable, and I believe I still hold that title dear to heart whether it's with family, work, friends, and clients. I would do my best to make sure your furry best friend gets lots of pets, play, and potty breaks. :) My schedule is pretty flexible since I work as a substitute teacher and painting instructor. I can easily block off dates so that I can be available. I know what it's like to have someone reliable and trustworthy to care for your furry best friend. I know that you can depend on me because I will love and care for your pet as if she/he's my own.

About: We have a maltipoo who is two and a half years and we’ve grown up with pets and have had friends and family leave their pets with us for weeks.. very friendly with pets and love taking care of them! We work from home so we’re always there to tend to our fur babies. We walk them around our neighborhood and play with them. We feed them according to their schedule & make sure they eat their own food. We live in a gated community and have a secure backyard where our fur babies can play. If you think your fur baby does better in a crate then you’re more than welcome to bring one so they can be comfortable in it as we do not have any crates. Our baby sleeps in our room and so will yours. Rest assured they’ll be in a very comfortable, happy and pet friendly environment. And they’ll for sure get plenty of cuddles and massages…
